3/10	Topic Introduction to Node.js Required Viewing: We will be using the command prompt (Windows) and terminal (Mac) extensively during the Node.js portions of this course. Most students are not familiar with the command prompt and terminal. You will find that once you learn how to use the command prompt/terminal, it can be the most efficient and effective way to perform many tasks. The sooner you learn and embrace the command prompt, the better off you will be. Please not only watch but work through using the commands that are introduced in the following videos. Get good at using these commands. There are separate sets of videos depending on if you are a Windows person or a Mac person. Windows Videos: Windows Command Line Tutorial – 1 – Introduction to the Command Prompt Windows Command Line Tutorial – 2 – Listing Files and Directories Windows Command Line Tutorial – 3 – Opening Files and History Windows Command Line Tutorial – 4 – Creating and Removing Directories Mac Videos: Linux/Mac Terminal Tutorial: Navigating your Filesystem Linux/Mac Terminal Tutorial: Create, Copy, Move, Rename and Delete Files and Directories
